Excellent, but...
...the regular presenter is a pain. Like MSNBC's Chris Matthews, he seems to think the one person we all want to hear from is himself and that the point of the podcast is for him to voice his own brainstream of opinions and questions. Guest are invited onto the show to explore a subject close to their hearts, but he (Phillip Dodd?) is constantly interrupting them with follow-ups, side-questions and personal observations before they have a chance to get going. This obviously throws off many of the guests, who are often academics unused to broadcasting, and who would I'm sure appreciate more space to talk. It makes for an unfulfilling and frustrating listening experience because the subjects are usually very interesting.Read full review »

Heavy lifting done for you, how the analysis and structuring of the program is worked out is beyond me. Always excellent
